Comments on: It’s the Burning Man Plastic Footprint Project!http://myplasticfreelife.com/2013/08/its-the-burning-man-plastic-footprint-project/
Think we can't live without plastic? Think again. In 2007 I committed to stop buying any new plastic & I've almost succeeded! Won't you join me? Let's see what plastic-free looks like today... for the health of our bodies, our oceans, our planet. ~Beth TerryTue, 31 Mar 2015 19:09:17 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1By: Sarahhttp://myplasticfreelife.com/2013/08/its-the-burning-man-plastic-footprint-project/#comment-60954

Apparently it is easy to install and only costs about $10. I also heard about a product called Aim To Wash – it is a bidet that attaches behind the toilet seat. It is using water, but much less than to produce tp. I am considering one of these options!

Personally, I still use recycled toilet paper because I don’t want to cut down trees to wipe my butt, and as you mention, the bamboo stuff is quite expensive. Some people use water or install a bidet. Or family cloth. I’m not there yet either.
In a conversation with someone from Clean Water Action a while back, we came to the conclusion that this issue is really about the fact that there is just too much BPA being produced and we need to push our legislators to ban the stuff, rather than having to make stupid choices between recycled toilet paper with BPA or virgin toilet paper without.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about family clothes and after reading that most of our toilet paper is laden with BPA I’m going to start the transition.

This is a little off topic, but have you heard about BPA being in recycled toilet paper? I couldn’t believe it when I read about it, but there aren’t a lot of great alternatives out there. I have heard about people making their own family cloth, but I can’t really get past the ick factor or possible scrutiny from others. I have heard bamboo toilet paper is BPA free, but it is very expensive.
I was wondering if you can think of any good solutions? I don’t want to keep using recycled toilet paper if it has BPA…Thanks! ~Sarah

I spent more than one post-Burning Man weekend trying to pick up glitter and feathers to appease BLM standards. It’s an ideal community for this conversation.
